Rockin' The Baby

Shell over at Things I Can't Say is hosting a fun link-up called Rockin' The Baby. I went through my photos and selected a few of my favorites from Dean's baby days to share with all of you.

Here we see Dean in an adorable hat made especially for him by my friend Angelina:

Don't you wish you could sleep like that?

Or this?

How 'bout that hat? Marcus insisted that Dean wear a hat at all times when we brought him home from the hospital. Sure it was January, but our apartment was about 400 degrees, hence the short-sleeved onesie. This hat earned him the nickname "Gangsta Dean."

Speaking of Marcus, he just glanced over and asked why I'd chosen 2 pictures of Dean sleeping, since, honestly, these may be the only moments Dean slept somewhere other than on one of us during his first 4 months of life. Touche', Marcus Lane, touche'.

Here's one of him in an adorable onesie that reads "Everyone's Favorite."

Tiny muffin.

And finally, what very well may be the all-time greatest baby picture ever taken:

CHUBBEH! On the left is my nephew, Adam, who was about 16 months at the time; on the right is Dean, 4 months. Everyone in our family has framed copies of this shot, and we lovingly call them the Buddah Babies.
